Man Sets Station on Fire Over Playlist
A volunteer at a community radio station set fire to the station because he was upset that his song selections for an overnight Internet broadcast were changed, police said.

Paul Webster Feinstein, 24, has been charged with second-degree felony arson for the Jan. 5 fire that caused $300,000 damage to the studios of 91.7 FM KOOP. He faces from two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

Feinstein told investigators that he was "very unhappy" about the changes to his playlist, said Austin Fire Department Battalion Chief Greg Nye. The songs were intended for an Internet broadcast that occurs when the station is off the air.

...

Feinstein was a jazz fan and his Internet program was called "Mellow Down Easy," Dickens said.

1. Oh the irony...
Should have listened to his own "show", eh?

2. Well, that's the whole point isn't it?
He wanted to listen to his own show, with the songs that HE wanted. But the MAN said no.
And then they started playing "The Roof is on Fire" and "Light My Fire," so frankly, I think they bear some of the blame too.
